You're traveling into another dimension...
I am tripping out over the paradox of a virtual fantasy world having its own virtual fantasy lore within its lore; logically, I shouldn't be surprised that we who live in this alternative universe/reality would also create sub-plots and layers of fiction. Here in our own existence, we have four dimensions: time, length, width, depth, and a confetti of stories to celebrate them together, explain the unexplainable, or manufacture science from legends. Ironyca ponders the urban legends in Azeroth:

If the gobbling Prince does indeed have a wine cellar, perhaps he'll share some of his good stuff, or perhaps he's saving that for a special occasion*. Like, when I down Ragnaros. Or, even more unbelievable, get my Real ID to work with some new friends. I smell a conspiracy. And I'd like those bones in cages around the Darkmoon Faire investigated.
*Who am I kidding? He's saving it for the black-market.
Since it's on the Internet, it must be true. Take these with a grain of salt:

This is also a true story: there is a new NPC, a pet battle trainer, who is also named "Matty."
My reaction:
Oh, and I also heard a rumor that the Yak mount is going up to 120,000 gold.
Okay. Going to hunt for Bigfoot for a while. Much less terrifying.

It's a sign maybe that you need to be doing pet battles. I know you shudder at the thought.
ReplyDeleteThe only sign I see is going to be a huge picket-sign as I walk back in forth in front of this trainer, and giving him cease and desist papers, haha! Very funny, Navi --too damn funny!
DeleteI have been sitting here waiting to raid for 30 minutes listening to grown men talk about what pets they plan on battling.
DeleteI am over myself.
Geez, Blizzard really is being a blizzbutt to you, first being difficult with your real ID then they make you a battle pet trainer!
ReplyDeleteI know! And what did I ever do to them?! But I think just now, and I mean JUST now, got the real id thing figured out. As for the NPC Pet Battle Trainer...well....
DeleteLMAO
